Figure 8

Comparison between properties of biofilms formed on different restorative materials in the assembled bioreactor. (A) The number of bacterial cells in the biofilm. a, b: No significant difference is observed between bars labeled with the same letter (analysis of variance, Tukey's honest significant difference test, p > 0.05, n = 5). (B) The volume fraction of bacteria with intact cell membranes. a: No significant difference is observed between bars labeled with the same letter (analysis of variance, Dunnett T3 test, p > 0.05, n = 10). (C) The volume of bacteria with intact cell membranes and damaged cell membranes. a, b, A, B: No significant difference is observed between bars labeled with the same letter (analysis of variance, Dunnett T3 test, p > 0.05, n = 10). Error bars represent the standard deviation.
